The 8 year old cousins - Anna Roberts and Brooklyn Pace

Tyler and Rose came to Sandy Valley March 17 with Avery and Lila Jane. We went for a walk to see the "junk" - then Grandpa wanted a picture with Avery on the truck bed.

Come and visit anytime.

Summer 2010

We had a great week-end attending Landon's baptism in Mesa. After the baptism we went to Jason and Shantel's to eat and swim.

This is a bee hive under the eave of the south side of the house. The bees are becoming a nuisance around here. We hope to get them eliminated soon.

The sunflowers finally bloomed.

Corn is growing in our field. Looks good, huh?

" The corn is as high as an elephant's eye". We are happy to see green in the field again.

March and April 2010

And we could see the flowers again in Candis and Ryan's front yard.

On Sunday morning we woke up to snow in Utah. By noon it was all melted.

Jason and Shantel and family were also in Utah and we had a nice visit with them at Candis's.

We had the privilege of attending the Saturday afternoon session of conference. It was so inspiring.

On April 2nd, we drove to Orem and stopped in Parowan on the way. The Pace family entertained us for while. Preston and Brooklyn both played the piano.

This is Damon at a basketball tournament in Shelley, Idaho. It was great to watch him play ball.

We all had dinner together while I was in Idaho (all except Steve who wasn't able to come.)

Grandma Baldwin has turned 95 years old. She loves all her posterity and wishes you all well.

VALENTINES DAY

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR

Santa visited our Branch Christmas Party and sat near this awesome gingerbread house made by Sister Mahaffey. After Santa was gone the gingerbread house was moved to Dad's office and boy does it smell good.
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We are so happy we were able to see you all at Thanksgiving.

In Seattle

Walking along the waterfront to get to the ferry.

We had another great week-end...This time in Seattle with Doug, Steph, Jack, Jordon, and Mackenzie. They treated us to a visit to Pike Place Market, ferry ride to Bainbridge Island, (we bombed out on the Trunk or Treat), and Mackenzie's Blessing.

I'll try to add a couple more pictures (if it doesn't take toooooo long)
